Employment law

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly at work. But from time to time, things can go wrong. Workplace relationships may break down or perhaps you face the risk of losing your job. If you’re involved in a disagreement at work, it’s good to know there is someone you can turn to for advice.

Contracts of employment

The key to any good working relationship begins by knowing what is expected of you as an employee. And it’s equally important for you to know what to expect from your employer. That’s why a contract of employment is so important.

Discrimination at work

Grievance and disciplinary procedures

Facing problems at work is never easy - particularly if there’s a breakdown in the relationship between you and your employer. So it’s good to know that when things go wrong, help is available to ensure you are treated fairly and to support you during work-related disputes.

Redundancy

When faced with redundancy it’s natural to have lots of questions. You’ll want to know if your redundancy is fair, how much notice your employers have to give you, and whether you are entitled to redundancy pay. Most employers handle the process properly and support their employees through this difficult time. However, if your employer is making redundancies and you feel as though you need help to ensure that you’re fairly treated, we’re here for you.

Unfair dismissal and employment tribunals

If you feel that you’ve received unfair treatment at work or believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed, it’s natural to want to take action. Often it’s possible to resolve workplace disputes directly with your employer but if you’ve already tried this and failed, you may decide to take your employer to an employment tribunal. If this is the case, we can provide all the legal advice and support you will need throughout the process.

Unfair treatment at work

If you feel that you’re being unfairly treated at work, it can be a stressful and confusing time. The good news is, you’re not alone. Our employment law solicitors have helped lots of people in similar situations and can provide the help and advice you need to resolve issues quickly.

Unlawful deductions

Every employee deserves to be paid correctly and as promised by their employer. From time to time, disputes can arise and your employer may feel they have the right to deduct wages from you. However, employers can make mistakes and it may be that the deduction from your wages is actually an unlawful deduction.
